You are probably right, but I believe it will want to initialize the
drive first which I cannot let it do as I believe that will wipe whats
there.

The only thing I really cared about was the data on the Raid0 honestly
and I wasn't too concerned about the $HOME directory since there is
another 'copy' on another server - however the individual has since let
me know that they were not in sync and there were things he had done
that he hadn't backed up.

The Raid0 is simply a large disk pool for temporary data storage. Not
the way I would build this, but I am simply managing the hardware for
this individual, and he has been warned about the loss of data due to
the single point of failure, especially without backing this data up to
somewhere I can get to it with tape
Thanks again
